AlliedModders - [L4D1 & L4D2] Laser that never sucks (useful upgrades)

Author:

Figa (fork by Dragokas)

Description:

These are 4 upgrades any client can manually enable/disable at any time:

- Laser Sight
- Night Vision
- Silencer (L4D1 only)
- Fast Reload (L4D1 only)

All upgrades are made permanently per-client, not per-weapon (and saved to cookies, loaded on client re-join).

Why one more plugin?
- Most plugins for laser in L4D1 cause clients to crash on some servers. This fork uses SDK-method that works fine all the time.

Restrictions:
- for L4D2 only Laser & Night Vision are available at the moment.
- for L4D2 it is impossible to remove crosshair due to the protected client-side command "crosshair 0". I also tried to change the different hud properties of the client, but they don't have the desired effect.

Specific:
- Plugin is blocking perk sound automatically when you equip the upgrade.
- atm, plugin cannot block the secondary sound (in L4D2) and game hint (on-screen message and sound) (L4D2) when you equip/re-equip weapon with upgrade. Need help.

Commands:

sm_laser - Toggle Laser Sight
sm_laseron - Turn on the laser
sm_laseroff - Turn off the laser
sm_night - Toggle Night Vision
sm_silent - Toggle Silencer (L4D1 only)
sm_silencer - same
sm_reload - Toggle Fast Reload (L4D1 only)

Natives & Forwards

Spoiler

PHP Code:


		
			
forward void OnUpgradeChanged(int iClient, int iUpgrade);



native int UU_GetUpgrades(int iClient);



native int UU_SetUpgrades(int iClient, int iUpgradeBits);



public void UU_AddUpgrade(int iClient, int iUpgradeBits)



public void UU_RemoveUpgrade(int iClient, int iUpgradeBits)

For details, see: include/useful_upgrades.inc file.
